Why Train to Busan is a PERFECT Zombie Movie
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 02. 2020
- Zombie movies these days don't focus on their characters nearly as much as they should, but the Korean hit Train to Busan perfectly wove a simple story of a zombie outbreak on a train, showing a condensed but thrilling experience that develops Seok-Woo and leaves a memorable mark.
Get you some MERCH!

Hey guys sorry if you get a ton of notifications for my Train to Busan videos, I had a false copyright strike on my channel for my "Why Train to Busan is a PERFECT zombie movie" and wanted to make sure my channel would be alright. Thanks for understanding and STAY WOW!
So I had to reupload this about 23 times in order to appease the copyright system, BUT it sup and ready for your viewing pleasure! Hopefully it doesn't need to be edited any further, but if in the future a scene feels short or weird, its because I had to cut a scene because of further copyright issues. Ill be getting back to why you wouldn't survive and zombie sins content next week! Thanks y'all for your patience, stay wow!~
Hey man it's alright dude you're doing great keep up the good work
I've been looking forward to seeing you talk about this movie, it's one of the greats for sure!
Take your time, your content is worth it!!! 💖 Thanks Zach(sorry if I spelled your name wrong)!!!
_we live in a society._
Maybe a series where You give review to zombie characters from 1-5 where 5 is worth to follow? Any character that will appear at least twice would be counted, but from Your personal perspective as normal human, not brave amazing soldier, You could also do the same about games characters but depending on cutscenes, would be amazing to see it on Your channel ^^ - Just another b*llshit request :D

I clicked this title because I knew that it was true
I clicked this title because I wanted my mind to change. Nope. I still think it's a completely average movie that borders on frustrating. Damn.
TLDR: they write real people instead of tropes for the characters
And it's devestanting
Yeah same America was able to do this for fashion marketing why not movies .-.
Yeonaah Beasley yeah
PREACH
Whats tldr?? When did youtube become reddit?
the fact that there's going to b a US remake... makes me wanna jump out a window the US needs to come up with their own ideas like im not watching a subway to Brooklyn
Wait, what? Oh boy, I'm gonna come with you then. This movie is already perfect, I don't need the US ruining it, I'm gonna start swearing like a sailor in my native language
What does that EXACTLY me.
Oh my god why does everything I like have to be ruined.
Seriously though, even if the US keeps making asian movie remakes, i still watch the asian versions, specially the horror ones... (also because I'm asian and most horror films are directly tied to the supernatural and supertisions that western countries can't relate to) The US need better original content
SUBWAY TO BROOKLYN PLSS💀
I love how the daughter and pregnant lady "the easiest targets" were the ones who survived showing the payoff of the sacrifices the dad and the husband did , showing a sense of love and responsibility towards the most important people in their lives.
Your review was spot on and incredibly well done!!
what about the two teens?
The boy did it too.
My main takeaway from this review is the reflection on Korean culture, also some other layers I didn’t notice, such as the MC and assistant pulling funds, potentially help starting the disaster. Also, about how the younger generation are the first ones to deal with choices made by the older generation. But a point made in this video is about the cultural view of protecting the group over the individual. With this in mind, it makes sense that the “good” characters sacrificed themselves for the most vulnerable, which is the pregnant woman and also a small child. I absolutely adore this movie and this is a very well thought out video.
The two old ladies was honestly a really sad part
@@Brook_55 it wasnt.
The death scene was very selfish of the old lady.
"Hey these people are scared out of their mind but but my sister is there and I really dislike this younger generation i guess so I'l just kill em all"
How tf is that sad? Thats just ageavating.
@@johnynoway9127 I thought it was pretty sad. Just a personal opinion.
“I made that.” Has to be the best comedic punchline in a zombie film I’ve heard yet.
The Cantonese dub s translates to something like I made her pregnant lol
Edit - more like I knocked her up
What is your profile pic it reminds me or rwby for some reason?
*Zombie Virus Arises* "I made that."
I dreamt of the usa zombie plan being used. It didn't work. The zombies kept coming. Anyways they were possessed not really zombies a rebuke of "the blood of Jesus is against you" work and that's all. Love y'all all. Remember this plan don't work go the Christian route. It's not really zombies just looked like it. Love y'all
@@leahp1765 what
Can we talk about the conductor? That man risked his life venturing into the unknown by himself to get a train up and running for everyone, and he only died because the first person he saw that needed help happened to be Yon-Suk. Godspeed, Mr. Conductor. You deserved better.
he did deserve better, respect.
You misspelled his name its yon-suck
Aheeeeeeeeem *Suck
@@Thesnowyman exactly
@@thecm3nd3mon it doesn't really matter he probably just couldn't be bothered to fix it
He literally described the protagonist, the protagonist is not always the “hero” of the story but the character we follow to see if he can change.
ohhh.... i didn't figured out
yeah but in most western media, the protagonist is usually the hero. and train to busan diverts from that usual trope.
The husband was my hero. I literally called him that the entire movie and when he got bitten I was ACTUALLY upset cause he was that good.
He literally explained it for babies multiple times and you still didn't get what he was on about
@@joyfulflame3336 He literally caused the virus by constantly funding the chemical company where the virus started. That's why he told to his younger worker to sell everything asap. + all of his phone contacts say = Lemming.
I cried when the MC, moments before his transformation, with the last bit of his free will, thinks back to one of the happiest moments of his life: the birth of his daughter. Then he lets himself fall off the train, sacrificing himself to keep the others safe -- from himself.
I then cried again when his daughter began singing that song.
same.. i even remember those scenes whenever i played with my baby daughter's toes, will i remember this moment at the end of my life..

Coming from an American, your statement is sad but true.
The most terrifying thing I can imagine about a zombie apocalypse is being in a small space… with corners… and dead ends. I’d much rather be trying to outrun a thousand zombies in an open field rather than be stuck in a building with one.
Have survival skill to grow your own food , cook it, take care of yourself cuz this will help you in long survival stuffs. You can grow quick growing vegetables, make seeds, eat few, plant seeds again, grow vegetables again makes it easy. But most importantly have survival skills 😏

@@JustBuyTheWaywardsRealms anything rural perhaps
@@dovestone_ daryl dixon !!
Exactly, yo. That's why I'd hate to be in a forest by a town, imagine how many zombies could creep through from the town and you can't see them because they are camoflagued in all the trees. Whereas with an open field you can see everything.
let’s also take a breather and think about how gong yoo (the actor of the father who died in the end) acted in a separate romance drama called goblin in that kdrama he had to watch his own movie in the cinema and got so scared 😭😭😭 it was so hilarious
wait that actually happened? is there a link to the clip?

That little girl has more acting chops than adults several times her age. She served a gut-wrenching performance.
when she was screaming at the end, bruh :((
Good directors get good performances out of their actors.
Great actors transcend bad directors.
If the girl continues to give great performances, then it was her.
Mac Mcleod the director could’ve been the best in the world, but it can be difficult for children as young as her to act believably (especially in a film like this) and be able to follow that direction in a way that creates such a great performance. Whatever the circumstances were she did amazing, if she continues acting I bet she will be great
@@graveserpent I've watched a lot of movies and I've noticed some directors consistently get good performances out of actors. And I've noticed some actors consistently deliver good performances regardless of the director.
Mac Mcleod yeah sure, I was just saying regardless of the director I think this actor did a very good job especially with her age.
The performance of the little girl absolutely gutted me. She is an amazing actor. Every time I watch this movie, I bawl like a baby for the last 10 minutes.
So we’re just not going to acknowledge that this guy went on to become a top recruiter for the squid games?

What I found so interesting about Train to Busan was that it wasn’t the fighters who were survivors, it was those they were protecting.

HE LITERALLY PROTECTED THEM WELL AFTER HE WAS INFECTED LIKE...

I made hurtful objects
@@Godzillaforlyfe2 imho just means in my honest opinion
The main character isn’t dead,He’s giving out PlayStation business cards
Ahh yes
it was his previous job before he became a hedge fund manager.
no actually, he WAS infected but Oh Ill nam brought him back to life with his money to make him give out the cards on subways.... tbh, this actor really has something to do with trains

The granny sisters' story progression hit hard. Like damn, in the time of need, you'll really see the true faces of some people. When she started talking about her sister, I was like, No. Then she stood up I was like, No way. When she opened the door I was 😳
that was very selfish of her.
She killed everyone who was terrified out of their mind cuz she felt "Oh these people dont deserve to live. How dare they want to live and think somewhat reasonably that the main cast might be infected"
Selfish it may be, but people who are hurt make stupid choices. True, some people there are mostly just paranoid but I guess the granny only saw how inconsiderate those other people were and she then decided to choose violence.
@@johnynoway9127I think it was the shutting the door, and not the quarantine that set her off dude
@@kriziaisabelrubi822 the issue for me is that people defend her actions slmost like shes a hero
@@johnynoway9127 That is an issue. But it's an issue on perspective. They see her as the hero because she killed the people who didn't care about the group of main characters. Those people are just scared, and that fear drove them to do something that seemed irrational to us as viewers but seemed rational to those peoples' perspective. The old woman isn't a hero, she's just like those other people on the train, selfish and only thinks that she is right. If anything, those people on the train she killed think of her as a monster. So yeah, it all depends on the perspective.
I feel you man. That scene where he names his child is heartbreaking.
If you hate the character, that's how you know the actor did an amazing job
for example Dolores Umbridge
Tsar Kataline Despite her being a blatant bitch and honestly kinda evil, I always liked her character to a degree. Like, she's a woman in a position of power, and young little me thought that was pretty neat.
Another great example:Mrs.Hilly from The Help. Dear god i hated that woman

If you said that in any other comment section thousands of incels would call you a feminist idiot. (I’m not calling you that just so I’m clear)
Phoenix Chase Shh! Don’t summon them! I don’t want them to attempt to ruin this movie by claiming that the zombies are a metaphor for feminism destroying the good men and their subservient wives or some other bullshit.

@Moonlight Night hope all zombies are just like that like in the dark you can move around 'em just don't make a damn sound or You dead sis
the bad guy played his part so good, i’ve never felt so much hatred for a character. this movie is such an anxiety rising film i loved it!
When the Selfish Guy slowly turned, I really felt him. He was definitely born into riches, he was well-connected, if there was a problem, he threw money at it, or pulled strings to get out of it. In the apocalypse, none of that mattered, there was absolutely nothing he could do once he got bit.
For once in his life, he couldn’t get out of it, and as it dawned on him, he seemed to lose his willpower and let it take him.
I don't feel a single thing for him honestly. It's his fault he got infected. Well deserved.
@@ProbablyPissedYouOff not saying he didn’t deserve it, he should have suffered a *lot* more for all he did. Just that the feeling of helplessness was one I identified with quite a lot, especially as a student. ;-;
@@Currentlyprocrastinating37 well deserved tho + an asshole at that. No sympathy for him 👍
@@IAMURIZENhe already said it was deserved
The guy who acted the selfish man is really humorous who commented that yeah, he hated his own character himself and introduced himself as the one who acts the asshole haha
I knew the real actor couldn't have been anything like his character. A lot of times, the actors who play bad guys are just the opposite!
@@melodyseverything6999 Take Jack Gleeson or Iwan Rheon, who both played magnificent bastards in Game of Thrones. Both are absolutely great funny blokes in real life.
Power of acting
Actors are intended to deliver a convincing and entertaining performance, despite what type of character they’ve been given; not one actor should be categorised with one character type, as that’d be limiting them.
To be fair he did that just to see his mom, before he turns into a zombie he asked the father to see if his mom is ok, he throw others away just see his mom.
Saddest death scenes:
1- The father
2- The husband of the pregnant lady
3- The highschool couple
4- The old lady sisters
5- The homeless man
6- The train conductor bc he was pure :(
Same
I feel like the homeless man was a little bit sadder :(

@@acatwhosblushing6011 naw I just feel like it’s more tragic, he sacrificed himself to save others, plus the ladies were kinda annoying.
Su-An losing his father definitely made me cry real tears, but Su-An singing the song that he wanted to sing for his father.... I can't, it is too heartbreaking
This masterpiece of a movie left me in literal TEARS. The sacrifices were so painful to watch yet it was kind of satisfying knowing they weren't fully in vain. Thank you Korea for bringing a new perspective to the genre of zombie sci-fi movies.
Everyone had flaws, and that made them feel like real humans not scripted characters.
The baseball couples were naive.
The mc father was selfish.
The blue jacket father was- Who am I kidding he was perfect.
Love this comment 😂
I mean the couple literally has no one and they lack of experience
@@shiningstar5281 true
The blue jacket father’s only flaw was that he was too nice and caring; traits that in an apocalypse will get you killed. Look out for yourself and then for others even if the others are your own friends and family at least you’ll mourn them.
@@Jaayy1997 the only character i hated here was actually not the "selfish guy" it was the old lady who opened the door and killed everyone

Government: your safety is not in jeopardy
Everybody:so that was a fricking lie
But it's pretty realistic
Not to question ur author

The kiwi approves.
True
True
The one thing that gave me the most fear from TTB was when him and his mom talk one last time, and he gets to hear her transform into a zombie in real time
That just absolutely broke my heart and, as someone who almost never cried while watching a movie, I nearly cried.
Just thinking about seeing someone I'm close to, like my mom, suffer a fate as terrible as that
Just pains me.
squid game really got me recognizing Korean actors now huh
Relatable😂
@@whateverwhatever578 yea
koreans actors and actresses are extremely good at acting, for example, the elderly people in squid game were really good despite their old age. And the little kid here too
Also the survivors weren’t complete idiots like in other zombie movies lol when the man with a pregnant wife put protection on his arms I literally applauded, sadly couldn’t hide those biceps of pure testosterone, but finally people that actually have common sense in a zombie apocalypse!!! And damn this comment blew up.
*Jim camera stare*
cool, but they didn't have brain cells. They had dumb luck.
You know he died because he was unlucky that he didn’t wrap his hand or like put thick gloves on
Idiamond Idiamond sadly yeah, still held a horde back with a zombie shield 😂
llYorFav1ll Ik he was one of the best characters well honestly there were not bad characters even that one selfish person he was made to be a bad character and he did it perfectly
Also that window scene when she put paper so the zombies don’t see them.
What i love about the film is that everyone is deeply flawed in some form
You can still choose to be a decent human being regardless of flaws.
No matter the situation, the most dangerous enemy in a bad situation is human beings. If you're ever stuck in something like this, it'd be wise to purge the selfish first thing after relative safety has been established.
Yea that daughter fukin sucks
I can't say there was a flaw in the guy with the pregnant wife. He was as close to perfect you can get to me. Fuck he is a hero.
@@robbobbrah8953 too bad it's easier to say than to do
as someone who has been on a dangerous situation before(was in a riot), i swore to myself to save others before and during said time
but when in the moment, all i could think of is to save myself and can't do anything beside screaming preemptively for the people near me to run. Heck, i believe i even pushed some people out of my way
i wish it's that easy to be that action movie badass
Joseph Sawyer there was, he was a huge dick about it
i have never seen a child actor act as good as this little girl she gets me crying every single time 😭 she's going places keeping up good acting like this
That last scene before he throws himself off the train just made me tear up ... just when he realized the value of parenthood and bond with his daughter.. really great zombie movie and actors too ...
I legit thought it was gonna end with the wife and child being shot by the soldiers and I was like in denial for a couple seconds, luckily they survived for the sake of my happiness.
Spoiler alert up there
@@apotato4939 You're in a video that explains the movie. How could you not expect spoilers?
Yea fuckin balled my eyes out when they started singing man, fuck that movie is so sad
@@apotato4939 braindead much? lmao
RealBubba They’re a potato
the 3 sad death scenes i ranked are:
1. The Father
2. The Husband of the pregnant woman
3. The highschool couple
4. The elderly sisters
The fathers death hot hard that was the one that brought the water works
5. The homeless man
6. The train operator
4. The homeless man
I don’t even have to WATCH this movie to tear up, just listening ABOUT the movie is enough.
Saw this vid's thumbnail, and a bunch of others praising the movie, I see people all over the place saying its good, I watch it, I cry like 4 times throughout the movie, I come watch this video, I cry like 4 times. GOD this movie is SO POWERFUL WTF
WTF... 4 times? Let me guess🤔
1.Husband death
2.Young couple death
3.Father's death
4.Tunnel
Am I right???🙄
Spoiler Alert: The saddest part of this film was after Gong Yoo got bit and was telling his daughter to stay on the train with the pregnant woman as she holds on to his arms telling him not to go, crying hysterically but then he smiles briefly before leaving her..... That alone is sad enough but take into account that his daughters whole life he felt more like a guardian than a father..... Su-an never got along with her dad and always wanted to stay with her mother but after saving her life numerous times and seeing her want him to stay so bad it was in that moment he realised that his daughter did in fact need him and he finally felt like a FATHER but it was so short lived as he had to leave before turning 😔
Son Dursun i literally sobbed at that scene
Yup!
Yeah that was so sad
Very very true.
And all that could have been avoided if the father didnt put litteraly his hand in the mouth of a zombie!!
Well but if that didn't happen he would't feel like a FATHER.
Well...
Thank god he gave his hand to feed the zombie, or he wouldn't be a FATHER, nor people would cry over his death. In the end It was for best.
Also the amount of time that the angry businessman took to turn into a zombie was not for the well being of the plot... at all...
since they were running after the train, then kicking zombies, then checking for their well being, the motherfucker is yet to turn and still has time to talk to them. when the film need the infection to spread people turn in less then 5 seconds. Good movie, but not perfect at all
Yes..I keep on crying at hat part...why do the best people almost always die and the selfish people live? It's not fair!
If that guard who was guarding the train just focused on his job everyone in the train wouldn't have been infected
Honestly. I'm surprised he was so oblivious.
Either way no one would have made it to Busan anyway lol.
That’s the one part of this whole movie that gets to me. Their ordeal could’ve been prevented if the guard had been watching who enters the train with complete sight of the station instead of only half, from the position he was facing.
But remember...it wasn't his fault either. Many wouldn't have survived the quarantine scene, as well as some other parts. I feel like some survived out of luck, using the example of the survivors. If those men weren't stopping the glass doors, they wouldnt be in the back car of the train trying to save survivors. And because of this, they survive the attempt of the old woman opening the door. Im sorry I wrote so much😭😭I just watched this movie for the third time and its so awesome
The injured woman stumbled onto the train at a sprint (and I think she like slapped the side of the door as she went in too) so you'd almost think the guy was deaf to not hear her
I’ve watched this movie millions of times but damn I still tear up. Both fathers deserved to be there at the end
Years later i still cry just hearing the retelling of events. This movie really is one of the best in history. The fact that its entirely in korean and speaking about korean/east asian culture and is still able to be so deeply touching to someone (a lot of people) who has never set foot in that part of the world (though i would love to and am slowly learning korean in my spare time) is impressive.
Everyone on set did an amazing job and the cast worked together so beautifully, their chemistry felt like real people interacting and there wasnt one character i was tired of seeing. Yes, even the awful horrible business man. I audibly sighed whenever he came up on screen but it just proves the actor did an amazing job with his portrayal, he felt real and presented a very real threat to our heros. As much as i despise the character for his actions, he was a very needed part of this movie imo.
Dont even get me started on Kim Su-an (the little girl playing the mc's daughter). Such a good actress despite her age. Also i had such a crush on Wooshik (the baseball dude) and continue to love him in anything i see him in (the witch, parasite ect.). Such an amazing cast.
And a very good re-telling of the story. If I ever need to convince someone to watch this movie im sending them this video. If by some chance anyone watching this havent seen the movie yet, PLEASE go do so. Its so worth it.
When the little girl was crying "Don't go! Don't go!" while holding on to her dad, I started crying and then the dad started crying too and I cried even more 😭
I cried so much in this movie I loved it
me:" this is a zombie movie it cant be sad!"
me after watching the move:" I'm not crying it just sweat"
I cried, you cried, everyone cried!
Such a powerful moment in the movie, the actors did an amazing job!
And thats OK
THIS ISNT EVEN THE MOVIE AND IT STILL MADE ME CRY.
SAME WTF and iVE SEEN IT LIKE 12 TIMEA
Me too!! What is this!!
See the movie. It is as impressive as this clip claims. Even though you know the plot, it is still something to behold.
Same
Sameeee
Very well done, believable situations, realistic personalities, and no plot armor.
The fact this REVIEW made me tear up at the guy sacrifice means it's an amazing film and I need to watch it.
He did tell his daughter that she should have finished the song, and she replied that she couldn't because you were not there. He responded even if you don't see me I am always watching. Or something along those lines. I just watched it for the first time a couple nights ago with my wife.
So THAT's why she was singing it after he died
Swilliam Oh, I wondered why she sang.
Stop making me have tears!
It’s such a heartbreaking movie for me to watch
The scene when her father is becoming a zombie and remember her child make me Cry :(
Me too...it was the most emotional part i guess
father*
I know but i cant edit cuz im on smart TV
Big ugly man tears man... :(
Pretty sure you’re not the only one crying in that part
Now he’s inviting people to play squid game
The only movie I genuinely cried... I had to pause the end of the movie just to go out of my house and let those tears go down. It was also embarrassing since my family see me as a stoic person and they saw me crying.
My favorite character in this film was "Mister" the homeless man. He does panic and crack several times. But when it counts, he helps save many characters. And in the end, throws himself to his death, to save people he hardly knew. He in my mind had one of the best and most honorable deaths in the film.
Heroism was passed down from one to another. He was saved by a stranger and he then in turn saves another.
In any other movie, he would be some extra who screams, runs and only cares for himself. However, in TTB, he actually has character and motivation
I hope there is a fantastic afterlife in this movie’s universe
I was actually going to mention him myself! He definitely stepped up at the end and showed true character that, until he died to save others, we weren't sure he had.
I also liked the highschool students the boy stayed, even at the last moment you can see that he loves the girl he sacrificed himself bc he knew he cannot live on without the girl
If someone says that they almost cried when the Asian rock got bit, they're lying
You bawl your eyes out and question how the universe is so cruel and what you're doing with your life
Bansi Gogineni yeah, that’s the reaction I had
Asian rock 😂 accurate
Literally tearing up as that scene came up
Im gonna cry again
Not true because I didn't cry you cant just say that because we are all different to each other you cant enforce your reactions on every body because we all are different please think about what you say before you say it.
I remember watching this at night on CZcams with my sister. The ending made me cry, and it's making me tear up now. This is such a good movie, I love it.
Not only did Seok-wu save Su-an in spirit, but it's also her emotion (the song and the reasons she sang it) that let the soldiers know she was still human.
Why this movie creepy?
- they stuck with a zombies inside a moving train and no way out
- they are normal peoples not cops or soldiers
- they don't have weapons like guns
- the zombies are fast
Basically Snakes on a Plane
@@Quantum1244 I'm pretty sure that Samuel Jackson was an FBI agent.
Zombies on a plane
Except for when Big Dad slammed a zambo like nothing.
Sounds like the movie: Cube. One of the best thrillers of all time. A masterpiece.
America loves happy endings. Remember how “the mist” ended. An ending so sad and heartbreaking that the movie can only be watched one time
Fuck happy endings. All my homies hate happy endings.
I cried like a little bitch at the end of that movie, like this one haha
Yeah, there's only so many happy endings one can take though. It's like the game trope that raycevick talked about. Saving the world, you can only do that so many times before it becomes routine, stale, and you get bored. That's why i like games from Yoko Taro, and in recent times, Hideo Kojima with Death Stranding. Because the story and ending isn't entirely a happy one. It's more bittersweet. And with Yoko Taro, his stories are sometimes just downright fuckin' depressing. But that's what i like about him, his stories aren't always happy endings and "oh we saved the world, happy day!" Like no, it's much darker and i like that because it's a little more realistic and compelling.
Honestly happy endings in these movies are so unrealistic
@@animefangirl5271 exactly, and to me, that’s what makes the perfect zombie move, specifically. Or tragic film, sad endings are the best
The train driver is the most underrated character, he did his job even in this situation and has my utmost respect!
One of my favorites plots is a parent starting off as a not so good parent and through the story is trying his/her best to improve for the sake of their child. These kinda stores always got me balling my eyes out
When the daughter starts singing it took me a while to realize why(or at least what I thought) and what came to my mind was that his father told her to never let things incomplete.
That's when I started crying fr cuz I took everything in after she started singing and I was like 😢
@DatingMatis156 yeah pretty much, or at least that's what I think she was doing.
@@Raudymuch she said that the first time she couldnt sing because he was not there. When he got bitten he said to her he would always be there in her heart, that's why she could finish the song in the end.
@@wendyp2397 wowww that makes it even more sad when you think about it ;(
@@Raudymuch yes it really does 😢
“The baby’s name”
I can’t quit sobbing
Stela
Aka SLEEPY 😂
Chronic42069 it’s the baby’s name because when the couple is first introduced the pregnant wife just refers to the baby as “Sleepy” because the father had yet decide on a name for the baby yet, so before he dies he tells his wife what he wants the baby’s name to be
@Renata I know I'm late to reply but I have no idea where you got that info from lol Su-yun is literally the most common & generic baby girl name in Korea, like the Korean equivalent of 'Kate' or 'Ashley'
@@RanAcid
me, someone named ashley: 🤠
Seok Woo ran so that Gong Yoo could happily slap people
I've watched this video dozens of times, I watched the movie multiple times, and I'm still on the brink of tears with goosebumps.
It wasn’t bad acting nor was it forced down our throats serious acting, it was just natural & believable acting, Hollywood should take notes
Strange Encounter Honestly though, like.. y’all do not have time to have a full on conversation about your relationship status while hiding in a closet with zombies on the other side.. like shush 🤦🏽♀️
Koreans take their acting seriously. Most of the time atleast
The kiwi approves.
@@KiwiBirdYes thank you Kiwi
There is a reasonably I’ve been so into the stuff Korea brings out, it be movies, dramas or music..... they are doing smth good! I’ve gotten sick of the Hollywood/usa stuff the world beliefs “is the best” bc to be honest it is not.....
Ive come to the discovery that I tend to like dramas/series from England more than those from USA too!
Also, the whole “America is great” thing is waaaayyy too prominent in their stuff.
I loved the buff guy, he was such an amazing character. His death hurt me so bad.
CoolMediaz ikr i really wanted to know his background in movie. He was a badass.
fuck i’m watching the movie as i’m typing this
@@apoorv1357 He's almost the equivalent of Korean's Dwane Johnson just have a lot more chance to show his acting skill and charisma instead of just the buff, fighter, military background guy
stop that yeah, he’s amazing. He’s also in another Korean movie called Along with the gods 2
He was a chad
i love this movie so much,it’s one of the first movies in the long time that made me ugly cry. the scene where the daughter begs her dad not to go while he KNOWS he’s doomed to die ALWAYS GETS ME. ough.
This review is actually why I watched TtB in the first place, and still makes me sob at certain scenes. Hell, describing it makes me choke up.
That child actor, oh my gosh, she was amazing! Her crying at the end and screaming "kajima" (don't go) had me bawling! I felt every ounce of emotion in her voice 😭
Sian and how emotionally she screamed appa.
Not every movie can make me cry.. this one did
It actually made me cry, we watched it in our classroom (in sixth grade) i didn't expect to cry, i was just staring but the heck, i started dripping tears as my seatmate bawled
Her acting was A+++++, Really hit me hard
Between that and her crying while singing in the end had me bawling my eyes out.
The homeless man and the buff guy in blue are the best characters in this movie, you can't change my mind.
I loved the buff man 👍
I cried when he died and told his wife the name he wants for the baby tbh
Ok but literally everyone except yong-suck are the best charecters in the movie
The homeles man was so underrated, he was the one that made me cry most 😔😔
and baseball boy
I was so disappointed when I found out the selfish business man and the lackey train attendant were alive in the bathroom stall
Never watched this movie and never heard of it but the way you spoke about it really brought me to tears
That old woman is the sanest person in the whole movie tbh.
That's exactly what the movie also portrays, that we sometimes ignore the elderly
thinking they're delusional and we know better...
"This is a load of BS..." LOL
“놀고 있네..”

She killed a room full of people... Lol
When the homeless guy sacrifices himself - 😭😭😭
When the Asian Rock got bit - 😭😭😭
When the self fish old dude tripped on the railway - 😄
When the girl got bit and the guy who loved her didn't run away and stayed with her - 😭😞
But... When the dad fell over..and remembers when he held her in his hands - 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Why would u 😂 at the last one bruh

When the train conducter jumps of the train to safe the asshole and gets eaten 😡😡😡😭
When the old lady decides to let the zombies in 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉😤
When the daughter sings her song for her dead father 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
When the daughter screams and begs for her father to stay with her 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
My top to moments that had me tearing:
-The daughter screaming "don't go" while the dad closes the door with a pained face
-The daughter singing the song for her dad that she wanted him to hear while crying.
Im usually good at holding it in but those broke me😭😭😭
I have never watched this, but that ending has me holding back as you're explaining it. Everything hits different when you are a father and I have 3 very young children. Easy to adapt too and that's why certain movies like this do so good. Uncomfortably relatable.
no matter how many times i watch this movie, the ending will always bring me to tears.
She sings Aloha 'Oe as before in the movie when her father is talking about her recital he says "I am always watching you" she takes that knowledge after his death and performs it sorrowfully in Memorium to her father, as she knows even then he is watching over her
I saved this video for immediately after watching the movie. I cried during the movie, cried during the vid when he talked about her singing for her father in the tunnel, and teared up a bit again reading this comment. So thanks. I hate you
Yea your comment made me tears up ooof
This movie is so deep. There are so many explanations that just branch out. When she started singing I kind of lost my composure I tear up just hearing the song itself.
aloha’ oē has so much meaning behind it as well. originally composed by the last queen of hawai’i.. queen liliuokalani. the song was written as a farewell to her people after the hawaiian kingdom was overthrown. now, this song is used as a farewell song. it’s such a beautifully heartbreaking song
Thanks I just finished the movie and now I’m crying again😭
"Yong Suk survived-- _goddamnit._ "
LMAO
that make me laugh so hard
@ 火RAY , Wait who’s Yong Suk ? I mean I watched this Movie and the only people on the Train that Survived were The Pregnant Women and that kid
@@thekhans2823 just watch this video and u will know what we laugh
@ 火RAY , Oh yeah , Hey watch Kingdom it’s on Netflix and it’s amazing !
@@thekhans2823 he's the annoying antagonist
This video made me realize how immature and childish I was on like 8 out of 10 movies I watched. Most of the time I’d go for entertainment rather than deep thoughts and understanding or the bigger picture. Thanks to this video, I have awakened and is now a better person who looks beyond the horizon.😊😊
Let's all take a moment to appreciate the great acting by this child. That last scene is one of my favorite scenes of all time
why train to busan is a great movie in under 10 seconds
1. The Father Sacrifice himself
2. The zombies are dumb and fast
3. All characters are perfect to be in the movie... specially the big guy
4. The ending was a close call...
5. The bad guy is actually fun to get beaten up
6. SADDEST ENDING EVER
I hated the old dude but at the end even he had a reason to why he acted that way. Given the circumstances he just wanted to survive anyway possible way to meet his mother. Urggg hate him but man he character is so interesting.
AgentWuT Watch the animated prequel by the same writer/director. Its called Seoul Station.
Its even more emotionally challenging than Train to Busan.
Reminds me of a quiet place which is far superior
@@missnekodes: His character and actions also makes a person ask himself difficult questions. I'd like to think I'd be noble and sacrificial, but I could also see myself being like him.
Ok but like the ending was predictable. Lol i knew the child and the pregnant lady were gonna survive.
I started crying when the dad jumped off the train so he wouldn't infect the others. I also started crying when the pregnant woman and the child were the only survivors and they started weakly singing. Train to Busan is heart wrenching and terrifying.
the two weakest survived
@@NuclearShot because the strongest, sacrificed

I've seen this movie so many times, and I still ugly cry EVERY👏SINGLE👏TIME👏
Gong Yoo (Seok-Woo) is an amazing actor, but Ma Dong-Seok/Don Lee (Sang-Hwa) was my easily fav character; and Soo-Ahn (the little girl) blew me away in this film, she's incredible 👏
"Train to Busan", unlike many other zombie movies I've seen before, was a terrifying and very emotional film. I cried a lot when watching it for the first time and I even cried while watching your review. That happens, because we as the audience grow to have an emotional bond, sympathise and relate to the characters. They seem real, their actions are believable and that's what, in my opinion, makes "Train to Busan" such a good production.
damn that blue shirt guy i bet he became like the zombie boss after being bitten
@ Tazine , 😭 That was sad
no boss😔
*doom eternal music intensifies*
@@Yes-vx2un xDD
A boomer...
I don’t remember the last time I’ve cried because of a movie, but this movie.... damn.
I saw this video, and before getting through the first few minutes, I decided to watch the movie for myself. I just finished it, and I can agree. I wasnt expecting to cry buy, I'm glad I watched the movie for myself
its the singing at the end that got me man
frida shupenia fr tho like them tears 😭
frida shupenia this is my first time ever crying to a movie and this movie made me balled my eyes out
I haven't even watched it and I cried when he did 😂 ffs
The way the zombies contorted was insane. Awesome movie.
i have rewatched that movie lots and lots of times and i never fail to cry my eyes out at the scene of him holding his daughter in a flashback then falling off the train, even in the little clip put in this video made me shed a few tears
an amazing movie
We all know the actual best character is the guy that was driving the train
I recognized him from other shows and immediately loved him
@@ianmcdonald9233 im pretty sure hes in black one of my favorite k dramas
He was so calm ...
@@erhemeebayra8209 instead of caring for himself he told all the other passengers that they should move to another train because he is going there. a true hero
@@magnoliaonly6488 yes ikr then that male karen pushed him to zombie 👁👄👁
The most heartbroken scenes for me
1.the dad's death
2.The husband of the pregnant woman's death
3.when the kid sang in the tunnel
4.the old woman's death and when her sister was looking at her
5.the homeless man's death
6.the baseball couple's death
i total agree with you.Train to Pusan is probably the only i ever actually cried.
@@creamypuffs4265 ah yes i love train to pusan
@@bunbunan11247 Busan and Pusan are some what the same name. just go to google look up both you would still get the same results. also i was tired when i was typing this so my mind went blank then i fell asleep.
7 soldier at the station
Damn zombie movie made me cry.🤦♀️ One of the best zombie movies I've ever seen.
I really appreciate the lack of "plot armor" in a movie, show, or book as it makes it more thrilling and realistic. Heroes aren't always the obvious ones. Usually they're the least obvious.
you made this movie so much more sad and deep than it really is with just words
I've been looking for a great Train to Busan analysis, and you delivered. Great content.
One scene I liked was when that lady lost her sister. Her sister knew that she wouldn’t last long, and didn’t want to suffer because she was old. After being mad at her and saying thank you, she realized that the people she was with only cared about themselves, so she opened the car 😭
I can’t be the only one who liked that scene, because those people had what was coming to them
Agreed. I was literally screaming fuck you when the assholes kicked the group out of their car
@シTenshiシ that doesnt make her any better she could have jumped from the train and killed herself without adding more damage
@@someonesomewhere9254 she wanted retribution for the idiots who thought nothing but themselves. She wasn't thinking for the ultimate greater good, but rather to punish the idiots.
@@KingPinguofDingu there was a little girl there and few good people still . I don't care i think she pulled a bitch move
They got a good dose of karma.
The part that really made my eyes tear up the most was when the little girl grabbed onto her father’s sleeve begging him to not leave her behind. That shit hurt my soul. Like I felt that anxiety. It hit harder when the father started crying with his daughter, he tried to put on a brave face for his daughter but he couldn’t once he fully let his fears and anxiety set in. That made it feel so real for me.
How cute.
Same when I first watched the movie I couldnt help but cry it was heartbreaking
If you think that homeless folks aren't helpful to just about everyone. Go meet a homeless person because you are so incredibly wrong. I would trust my life to the homeless way before I would trust my wallet to a guy in a expensive suit.
Oh yeah if ever the rich asshole tries to take control because of their ego, when competence actually matters. Ask them what a gallon of milk costs. If you actually can't even feed yourself without paying someone, you lose the right to even speak in a survival situation.
As a father that is the EXACT moment that fucked me up as well
The end of this movie made me cry. When he jumped of the locomotive it really pulled my heartstrings.
